Two female staff members can be seen briefly discussing the note as she returns to join her boyfriend alone in an examination room.

Floyd can be seen looking at his phone before several officers make their way into the room and restrain him, removing the handgun from his pants.

He was handcuffed and removed from the property, as other officers tended to his girlfriend.

A spokesperson for the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office said the woman was “visibly injured” after the incident, and said she was taken to a nearby hospital where she was treated for a head injury and bruises.

He was later charged with a series of offences including domestic violence, aggravated assault with a firearm, false imprisonment and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
